Steering System

Steering System
The steering system consists of the following components:
^ Power steering pump
^ Steering gear
^ Power steering lines
^ Fluid reservoir
^ Fluid cooler
^ Steering linkage
^ Steering wheel
^ Steering column
^ Steering column shaft
^ Steering column switches

The power steering system transfers driver inputs at the steering wheel to the front wheels of the vehicle. The steering column, hydraulic system and linkages that transfer these driver inputs make up the steering system. Gearing and hydraulic assist are used to significantly reduce steering efforts.
